If he has said he will break the 505kg, I have no doubt he has the mental and physical capabilities to do that.

Mitch, you have helped me a lot in my confidence, and exercise technique these past few years. Especially in the squat. I am someone who has been exercising since high school. After studying your squat form and applying it, I no longer get lower back pain after squatting at all. Please never feel pressure to be a certain type of person, just be yourself to the end. I hope you stay safe in these times and in this goal.

[@NateLieb]

Honestly, you impressed the heck out of me about a year and a half ago when I subscribed. Now you've come even further than that. Eddie clearly saw something in you quickly that made you stand out. I think you may just shock the world, and I'm rooting for you the whole way.

[@Mapa356]

I like your approach, its a great time for people on any level of training, so much good information out there that breaks away from the norm, for everyone not just professionals.

[@johnberesford7216]

I think if you and Thor are both healthy that you will both be able to pull 505. I think with a dedicated prep just for the record Thor might be able to pull somewhere near 520. My opinion should be tempered by knowing my all time max is only 256. I could be wildly off on this but Thors Heavy deadlifts just look incredibly smooth. Good luck and stay healthy. I'm pulling for you.

[@JeffO-]

[@HammerShock23]

Your first line is the most important, with staying healthy possibly being the most difficult part. On the other hand, watching elite athletes definitely skews our perspective, as a 256kg deadlift likely puts you in the top 1% of people who train.

Jumping 40 kilos from 465 to 505 seems crazy.

[@sagebauer1077]

Thor's last training lift before 501 was a 470 I'm pretty sure. And I think Eddie did 465 before 500 but i'm not sure.

[@shades4313]

The higher the numbers get, the bigger the jumps, 465 is actually not that far away from 505 in terms of percentages Edit: I just did the math it’s 92%. So his last heavy single will be at 92%. Which is pretty normal

[@ninjadudeofficial]

But his 505 without any serious prep was one of the best of anyone's, and plenty of others who've set records (most recently Trey) have said they didn't try to lift very heavy in training. I wouldn't be surprised if Mitch could get 510 with prep time. MF Batman over here

To reduce room echo on recordings, the best approach is to proactively manage your recording environment by using sound-absorbing materials like acoustic panels, blankets, curtains, or thick rugs to line the walls and floors, placing your microphone close to the sound source, and choosing a room with soft furnishings to minimize sound reflection.

[@Budsport_TV]

Mitch, congrats on all of your successes. Question/Request: At some point this year you were learning about the legends of powerlifting; their names, historic feats of strength, different types of lifts, etc. Well today I was looking over the powerlifting world record total holders and noticed Thor is ranked 16th of all time at a total of 2425 which he accomplished at his own meet. Would you ever consider entering into a powerlifting meet or at least do a series or singular video showing us where your total would be at for those three lifts? I think it would make for a very interesting off season series to train while not competing in strongman. I also believe it would work great in conjunction with the body building arc you’re current on. Much respect. Lift heavy and be kind. 👊

That's my opinion and don't take it the wrong way because I can't wait to see someone pull it whoever it is. If you do beat Thor then hats off to you bro. Good luck to you and anyone else who will try it.

[@kassu1134]

It doesn't matter. If Mitch pull 505kg first, then he is a record holder, even if it's 5 minutes. Also, Mitch has capacity to go even further on coming years, he is young and has done this relatively short period of time.

[@u04pww2]

It's taken Thor a Long time to build up his DL strength. Mitch had been much faster and is only just beginning. It's a great battle but ultimately one that Thor will lose.

[@ninjadudeofficial]

I don't think he's ever hidden that he thinks Thor is at least a stronger deadlifter. I think to truly challenge Thor's max he'd have to hit 510, which is unlikely but possible I reckon. But yeah ofc, Thor will almost certainly beat whatever Mitch does. I don't think anyone's going to claim otherwise

[@thestonksmarket1897]

Can’t wait to see you and Thor “raise the bar” on deadlifting ;)

[@pantopia3518]

I’m sure you and your team have put an enormous amount of thought into this more than you’re explaining in this video but there’s a lot of technique to equipped lifting and just because on average equipped world records are X% higher than raw doesn’t mean that you can lift X% higher equipped. There’s technique and certain body types. So I assume you’re already doing a lot of equipped training and are going to do more

[@grantarneil8142]

Weight through your heels at lockout is only appropriate if hitching is allowed. If its not and you have literally any quads, then you will receive a no lift from the bar coming into contact with your quads at lockout. Push keep your weight through the front of your feet at lockout to avoid the need for hitching and to result in a smoother lockout.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

Go Mitch!

[@connorfraser1278]

I have no doubt that you will be able to hit 505 kg in your career, whether its 2025 or later. This is in spite of maintaining a weight of 320-330 lbs... Eddie Hall was 435 pounds and Thor was 450 pounds during their 500/501 kg pulls. That being said, I have a hard time ever seeing you do what is "necessary" to surpass Thor on the deadlift in a head to head competition. I believe Thor is capable of pulling 520 kg. While maintaining your bodyweight, i have a hard time seeing you surpass 510 kg. Regardless, the deadlift record is not particularly close to the true human potential as of right now. I believe we will see someone who has little concern for their body at some point pull 540 kg.

[@kingofcool]

Agreed, I think the reason Eddie's DL is so iconic other than being first, is that he literally gave his whole life over to breaking the record without regard for his safety. If you imagine someone with naturally better levers and taller to be able to carry more mass with the same mentality as Eddie then the deadlift could even hit 550kg. Mitch is a freak but mass moves mass and like you said he'll struggle to get anything over 510-20kg.

[@ninjadudeofficial]

I wouldn't be surprised if Mitch ends up coming out a little heavier than he is rn, if only 5-10lbs. I know he wants to get a little leaner but that won't be as high a priority in peaking and he's already pretty lean, so if he does put much more muscle on I just can't see him maintaining that weight

[@bulletproof1581]

Hey Mitchell I have some advice that is going to help your deadlift out massively, something that you aren't seeming to realise is that you have very weak glutes compared to your leg drive, if you go and re watch any of your deadlift training, you will see that your butt shoots up way too high and you end up having to slow down your leg drive, then you back hinge the rest of the deadlift, as you know this crazy leg drive strength means you don't have to work on leg drive, but this crazy back hinge strength means you don't have to work on back strength like you think you do, and also your glutes need to become their strongest so you can prevent your butt from shooting high, this way you can use maximum leg drive which will shoot your deadlift through the roof. If you see this comment then I hope this helps you out allot 🙂

[@Theravadinbuto]

I tend to agree that glute strength is often overlooked. I naturally had high quad strength, and over a lifetime that led to knee damage from the tension that quad based lifting puts on the knee. I’ve now retrained to batter balance my effort between glutes and quads, and am seeing major recovery in my knees.

[@JeffO-]

He should be able to do 540 with your advice then.
